One Direction have yet to release an official response to rumors the group will go on hiatus in early 2016, but a recent tweet from member Niall Horan has offered fans a glimmer of hope for the future.

Monday night, just a day after E! first broke rumors of One Direction’s hiatus plans, Niall Horan turned to Twitter in an attempt to calm fans’ nerves. Writing to Directioners around the world in a series of tweets, Niall commented:

Ok so Lots of rumours going round. We are not splitting up, but we will be taking a well earned break at some point next year. Don’t worry though, we still have lots we want to achieve! Can’t wait for you to hear all the new music we have for you and to perform.

So it seems the group is definitely planning to go on hiatus, but for whatever reason they are keeping the confirmation of those plans at bay for the time being. The group is still slated to release their fifth studio album this fall, but if the rumors of a March start for the hiatus are true it is unlikely the group will tour to support the album.
